But #Panthers are first today, I'm told. ?  twitter.com/schultz_report…

Levi Drake-Rodriguez was honored as NFC Special Teams Player of the week for his play in Detroit.  He only played 17 snaps, but got his first sack as a pro and was noticed for his block of the Field Goal with just over 6 minutes left in the game.

While I'm giving out accolades, Blake Brandel (from Oregon St via Portland), was the ONLY Vikings OL who gave up ZERO pressures against the Lions, per PFF.

...I've been able to see every Viking's game except one (Cincinnati). My guess is south Florida will get the Ravens-Vikings matchup as there are a bunch of Baltimore transplants down here. I was going to pull the trigger on it, but decided not to as their tough schedule would result in nationally televised games. If we win some games, I might buy the truncated version of The Ticket for the last 4 or 5 games.

COLUMN: The most encouraging part of J.J. McCarthy’s performance while leading the Vikings past the Lions? 

The fact that he wasn’t satisfied in the immediate aftermath. 

“I’m not proud,” he said. “I feel like I could’ve played a lot better.”

KAM usually does something on this date most years he's been with the team, hasn't he?

Souhan: J.J. McCarthy breathes life into a stale Vikings season
'After three starts and two clutch wins, McCarthy looks like he has the the ideal attitude and personality to be a franchise quarterback.'

Can someone fact check that this is indeed Jim Souhan, local Minneapolis newspaper dinosaur and card-carrying curmudgeon?

5 of the last 9 are home games, but USB hasn't been the home-field I had hoped tbh
4 of the last 9 are division - so throw the records out! 
Some of these teams aren't as daunting as it looked in September

I would be hard-pressed to forecast a year ending w/l record for the purple right now...I have no idea what team is going to show-up week to week this season.

EAGAN, Minn. -- A day after starter J.J. McCarthy's triumphant return to the field, Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he is "pretty comfortable" with his team's quarterback depth as the NFL trade deadline approaches.

McCarthy accounted for three touchdowns in the Vikings' 27-24 victory Sunday over the Detroit Lions after missing the previous five games because of a high right ankle sprain. His return coincided with backup Carson Wentz's season-ending left shoulder injury. Minnesota placed Wentz on injured reserve last week, leaving undrafted rookie Max Brosmer as McCarthy's primary backup.

Veteran quarterback John Wolford has since signed to its practice squad, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that league sources believed the team might seek a more prominent veteran to pair alongside McCarthy via trade. Former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, now a backup with the Atlanta Falcons, could be available. 

The New York Giants, meanwhile, might be open to trading one of their veteran backups, Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

Monday, however, O'Connell talked extensively about Wolford -- whom he coached when both were with the Los Angeles Rams in 2020-21 -- and said he would like to add him to the 53-man roster at some point soon.

"I think with bringing John in," O'Connell said, "it was something where we wanted to make sure we had a third guy in the room, a guy I know very well. He immediately picked up where I remember being with John -- super smart, has a pretty high level of quickness and athleticism, quick twitch for a release and kind of a tight window thrower kind of guy that can activate a lot of different throw types. 

And he's got experience understanding how our pass offense works and how we want to operate. So as he said, he's the old man in the room now, and I think that's important for two young guys."

Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison Sr. doesn't like what he's seeing from the Arizona Cardinals offense right now.

"It's very hard for me to watch the Cardinals' offense," he told ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. "And you can quote me on that."

The former Indianapolis Colts star elaborated on his opinion.

"The style of offense that I am accustomed to, that I'm used to watching as a professional eye, as a wide receiver … I just can't relate to watching that [current] offense, that style of offense," he said. "Basically, I can't relate to what goes on there.

"I think that's just peacefully put, without pointing fingers or anything. It's just me. I'm giving you the professional eye. I can't relate to it. 

It don't add up to me. I can't deal with it."

The Cardinals have a bottom-half offense in both yards (310.3) and points (21.9) per game. They're also riding a five-game losing streak into Monday night's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is on his way to a second year of underwhelming on-field returns. He has 24 catches for 396 yards and two touchdowns through seven games, which isn't bad production but below what a lot of people expected for a can't-miss prospect who was a top-five pick.
